Last couple of weeks

We had another snow day on Wed, yawn, which means my Easter vacation is now shortened to 3 days. I got revenge on winter anyway by putting away all my warm winter sweaters. I'll get by. The great blue herons are back so I know spring is just around the corner....
Vintage shopping-you never know what you will find and when I spotted this spotted purse at the Goodwill in Fergus I thought of Sarah and bought it just in case. As soon as she put it on her shoulder I knew I was right! I love this purse and it is much better on a 19 year old shoulder than mine. :) Sarah loves it too, so it has a great home. The spots are all flaps so it moves a little, very fun.
So.....onto stuff for me, I stopped at the BB tonight on the way home as it's been a whole week since I've been there and scored on this Talbots top for only 75 cents!!! Yes, you read that correctly, Charice. I think it will be great with white capris and shorts, jeans too. Also is a good school shirt which is always a bonus. I have been using loads of self tanner lotion and you cannot tell from this picture, that's for sure. I hate late winter white skin. I am tempted to get another body spray before Vegas but cannot deal with the orange palms, hands and feet. I won't lay in the "cancer chamber" either so the lotion is my best shot this spring.
And now, my favorite find of the day, my Mexican inspired handmade shirt for just $1. It's colors caught my eye and then the handmade stitching, not only in the front but a little in the back too. Zoom in, it's a blanket stitch! Think jean capris with cute sandals and a Corona with a lime. I wonder who made it? I hope they'd be happy knowing that it's very much admired and appreciated by its current owner. I'm off to apply more tanning lotion to my arms, but not my knuckles. Yikes!

CUTE tops. Love the white one. I can totally envision you with a corona in your hand looking like a cool cucumber in that great top.

I love the pink top----let me know if you ever want to get rid of it:) Have fun in Vegas----we are heading there on Easter Monday. Let us know about any fun places to check out. We are going with our friends and have tickets to Jersey Boys, which will be fun!!
